Vauxhall Astra Hatchback boot space, practicality and safety

1998 - 2005 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3.5 out of 53.5

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

Early cars were fitted with a driver’s airbag and optional passenger/sidebags; dual airbags was standard from 1999; all have side impact bars, seatbelt pre-tensioners and a four star Euro NCAP crash-test rating. Security is average: all models have an immobiliser and unique-fit stereo; more expensive models have alarms.

Boot is massive and easy to load. Interior space could be better – CD multichangers are mounted in glove box – easy to use but takes valuable space.
